If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as an average American, what percent of the Earth would

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%

Nitrogen is important
uranmaximum [27]

Plants and animals could not live without nitrogen. It is an important part of many cells and processes such as amino acids, proteins, and even our DNA. It is also needed to make chlorophyll in plants, which plants use in photosynthesis to make their food and energy.

Nitrogen is an important component of many essential structural, genetic and metabolic compounds in plant cells. It is also an elementary constituent of numerous important organic compounds including amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, and the chlorophyll molecule.

Of all the essential nutrients, nitrogen is the one that is most often limiting for crop growth. Nitrogen is the nutrient which normally produces the greatest yield response in crop plants, promoting rapid vegetative growth and giving the plant a healthy green color.

If round pea shape is dominant to wrinkled pea shape, which of the following genotypes
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. rr

Explanation:

The dominant genotype will always be denoted by the capital version, or in this case R.

The round pea shape is dominant to the wrinkled pea shape, which means that, in the Punnett Square, the combinations of RR, Rr, rR, will all come out to be round pea shape.

The last box, rr, would be the one that gives the wrinkled phenotype.

In this case, by ratio, wrinkled phenotype show up 25%

                    by ratio, round phenotype show up 75%.

In this lab, you used a dichotomous key to identify organisms. Why would this skill be valuable to you? Check all possible reaso
Oliga [24]

The reason why a dichotomous key to identify organism is valuable, is because it helps you classify organisms,it helps you identify eco -systems, it helps you analyze an organism's traits.

Explanation:

A dichotomous key is a skill that has been brought about by scientists, to help people to identify and classify organisms.

In Dichotomous key, the main way of identifying an object is by it scientific name.This is because, though two objects might look similar to each other but they might belong to a whole different species.

So, it is is easier to identify the organism from its scientific name, as it will tell us which species it belongs to.

This key is very useful to people who are novice, and don't know much about identifying an organism.

This key also helps identifying, whether an organism belongs to a particular closely related group of organisms or is a separate organism.

It helps one analyze the traits of an organism, and based on their characteristics, it will help you identify and classify the species of the object or organism.
